I have 2 children that go here. The teacher have no control for the student body. My child has come home many a times that he can not learn due to the behavior of other students. Fights is an everyday happening. Very dissapointed!!! Only send your children here unless you have to!!

I am a former student at BMS. I was there from 6-7 grade but transferred to Meadowbrook because there wasnt enough challenge and half of the student popualtion is rude. I liked my teachers both years becasue they were caring and nice. The only problem was the way people would treat each other. There were fights every day. So i would be carefull before going to Blair.

The school is beautiful thanks to the renovations, but I think the problem is more with the students/parents than the teachers. I think the teachers see so much potential in the students, especially certain ones, but the students are not motivated for some reason. The want it easy, they don't want to be challenged. I don't this issue is just this school though, I think its happening all over. The parents really need to push and challenge there kids. my daughter was put in advanced classes this year because of SOL scores coming out the 6th grade. My daughter said it was too hard and wanted to be put back in regular classes. I told her no. I want her to be challenged. if she focuses she will succeed.

Blair Middle School has very high quality teachers and recently was re-built with state of the art technology. BMS has a fairly good principal who is very active with the students and parents. The student body at Blair is certainly not the best, but the teachers work their hardest to change that. Blair is a great school for anyone! Problems people may encounter usually occur with parents (and sometimes students) who expect too much!
